"One of William Shakespeare's most unusual and spectacular
plays, this late Romance combines comedy, tragedy and history into an epic tale
of power and magic - its action sweeping across Britain and Italy, as two
warring powers clash until its eventual joyful conclusion. The characters in Cymbeline include a
Lear-like monarch (John Cullum), a wicked queen (Phylicia Rashad), an Iago-like
villain (Jonathan Cake), a deceived husband (Michael Cerveris), his loyal
servant (John Pankow) and a heroine, the king's daughter Imogen, Shakespeare's
last great female role (Martha Plimpton)," explain press notes.

Cymbeline is
designed by Tony Award winners Michael Yeargan (sets), Jess Goldstein
(costumes), and Brian MacDevitt (lighting). Original music is by Mel Marvin and sound
designers are Tony Smolenski IV and Walter Trarbach.

The performance schedule is Tuesday through Saturday
evenings at 8pm with matinees Wednesday and Saturday at 2pm and Sunday at 3
pm. Tickets priced at $65 to $90 are
available at the Lincoln Center Theater box office, by calling Tele-Charge at
(212) 239-6200 or on-line by visiting www.lct.org.
